I posted this coin in the grading section a while back. I took another look at it. The reverse die clash is documented on coinsandcanada for 1946, 47, 50, 51 and 52. c&c also documents die clash both sides for 1950, and there's the Pinocchio of 1950. An obverse die clash for 1952 in the ear similar to mine was documented here http://goccf.com/t/228046.

Some perhaps unique things about this 1946. 1. Die clashes on both sides. 2. Obverse die clash in ear I have not seen documented for 1946 (is it?). 3. Obverse clash of aurora borealis line(s) behind head I have not seen anywhere, for any George VI dollar.

Another cool thing I noticed recently, is that the reverse is clashed near the date, corresponding to the jaw and neckline of George. This is pictured in c&c for 1950 and 51, and on this 46 it continues halfway to the first L in DOLLAR - pretty much the entire front of George's neck. Tough to photograph though.

That's a pretty sweet clash. I'll check mine to compare, but I don't think it's that pronounced.

Thanks for sharing these clashes. The 2012 Charlton has the 46 dollar varieties at the back and doesn't even mention these clashes.

Good to know..and look out for..
